Multiple Monitors
Multiple Monitors supports two to six touchscreen displays for one system. PenMount
drivers for Windows 2000, XP 32/64bit, and 2003 support Multiple Monitors. This
function supports from two to six touchscreen displays for one system. Each monitor
requires its own PenMount touchscreen control board, either installed inside the displayor
in a central unit. The PenMount control boards must be connected to the computer COM
ports via the RS-232 interface. Driver installation procedures are the same as for a single
monitor. Multiple Monitors supports the following modes:
Windows Extends Monitor Function
Matrox DualHead Multi-Screen Function
nVidia nView Function
NOTE: The Multiple Monitor function is for use with multiple displays only. Do not use this
function if you have only one touch screen display. Please note once you turn on this
function the rotating function is disabled.
Requirements
Before using the Multiple Monitors function you need the following:
* A display card that supports multiple monitors such as the Matrox, nVidia, ATI, etc.
* (Two or more display cards supported by Windows are also ok.)
* Two or more touchscreens
* Two or more Serial Ports or USB ports.
* Two or more PenMount 6000 control boards such as 6200x, 6202x,6300 or 6500.
* The PenMount Windows Universal Driver (for 2000/XP/2003/VISTA/7).
Before using Multiple Monitors you must have two or more monitors that are in
mode. For display cards that support multiple monitors, we suggest you consider Matrox,
nVidia, or ATI cards and inquire about operation and usability issues.
Note: Before you can use multiple monitors you need to map each monitor.

Step 1.In PenMount Control Panel, under Multiple Monitors tag, check the "Multiple
Monitor Support" box. Then click "Map Touchscreens" to assign touch controllers to
